Don&#8217;t be shy about joining the conversation. Bloggers love getting comments. If you are interested in reading about other Austin gardens, check out the links in my sidebar or the latest comprehensive list at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penick.net\/digging\/?p=488\">Pam\/Digging<\/a>. Austin has more garden bloggers than any other city in the world!<\/p>\n<p>While here, you can explore the archives by category: read the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/gardenlog\/?cat=10\">history of my garden<\/a> both outside and online, check out what&#8217;s happening <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/gardenlog\/?cat=5\">Week by Week<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/year\/inbloom.html\">Month by Month<\/a>, or my latest <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/gardenlog\/?cat=12\">garden project gone bad<\/a>. Although I like to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/gardenlog\/?cat=4\">try new plants<\/a>, for some reason the post I receive most comments on is the one on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/gardenlog\/?p=367\">Indian hawthorn<\/a>&#8211;a plant I despise and ripped out of my yard.<\/p>\n<p>Our motto here is research, research, research and then trial by error. Lots of error. If we learn best from our mistakes, I&#8217;m on the path to genius. The best thing about garden blogging is that we get to compare notes with other gardeners, people who understand our obsessions, encourage us through our losses, and cheer us on in our successes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/photos\/320\/rose_Mermaid2008.jpg\" alt=\"rose Mermaid\" \/><br \/><i>Rose &#8216;Mermaid&#8217; likes to climb trees and its large flat blossoms glow like little moons in the twilight.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2350\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
